The ROTC seniors turned over command to next years graduates tonight, Freeper grandson Gerry just kept coming by and piling awards in his momma's lap!
I've got 200 pics to cull and process and get online, I tried to get at least one shot of everyone. It was a fast paced ceremony, I overheated my flash unit and had to wait until it cooled.
The Special Forces are after him now, he sure isn't one of those fat kids they talk about. It's up to him now, for sure.

he has a checkerboard on his chest.
He must have worked real hard and looks right smart in that uniform.
Congratulations.

My dad was a JROTC instructor after he retired from the AF. Nothing pleased him as much as a motivated, serious, America-loving young man like Gerry. He would have been almost as proud of your grandson as you are. Men like him are the future of our Free Republic, and they come from families raised the right way.
Congrats, Grampa; ya done good.

A serious, determined, accomplished young man. You are right to be very proud of him for his accomplishments. And you should be proud of yourself for instilling American values strong enough to span multiple generations in today’s generally negative environment.
To: SWAMPSNIPER
Congratulations! What a fine looking young man! I wish him the BEST!

Congrats!!! There are more people proud of him than you realize.
Reminds me of Aragorn saying “If by my life or death I can protect you, I will. You have my sword.”
And Boromir, “You carry the fate of us all, Little One.”
Well done!

I know, I'd rather be going where he is in his place.
All you can do is feed them good and run them hard, they have to stand on their own.
The kids who are prepared at least have a chance to live free.
